Dozens of motorway closures are set to hit UK drivers this autumn as National Highways completes major works across the country.
Nightly closures will be a regular occurrence in October and November, meaning those who drive later in the day can expect disruptions and diversions. Closures for works likely to take less than 12 hours to complete generally run from 8pm to 6am.
Three roads are even currently closed until 2026, meaning drivers must prepare accordingly.
As the colder weather begins to bite, National Highways has also warned drivers to prepare for autumn on the roads. More than half (55 per cent) of all drivers don’t check tread depth before long journeys it warns, with a similar proportion not checking tyre pressure.
With tyre issues causing more than 53,000 incidents in 2024, the road authority is reminding drivers to check tyre tread, pressure and condition before journeys this autumn
Here’s a rundown of the road closures set to hit drivers this month, regularly updated:
